[Papervision3D] FW: BitmapFileMaterial cached load events firingtoo early

[Pablo Lemos]

I am in a project that deals with a lot of Bitmaps-Materials. I´ve made some questions here and received a lot of tips. But the BEST one is, for sure,
use BulkLoader to control loading (because this library has a lot of features to do that and PPV3D LoadEvent has not) and then create Materials and, after that, create planes or cubes, etc.

http://code.google.com/p/bulk-loader/

Hope it helps,

  Hi everybody.

  Im having a problem with BitmapFileMaterial, although i may be using it wrong.
  my code is as follows
  Line 1: var bmpMaterial :BitmapFileMaterial;
  Line 2: bmpMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial(asset.ThumbnailUrl, false);
  Line 3: bmpMaterial.addEventListener(FileLoadEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE, onFileComplete, false, 0, true);

  I create a plane and will eventually set the material of this plane to this bitmap material

  Now if i wait until this material has fully loaded and then add a second plane with a new BitmapFileMaterial but using the same URL.

  The BitmapFileMaterial recognises that this URL has already been loaded and fires the load complete event!

  this all happens in the BitmapFileMaterial constructor (Line 2) and before i attach my event listener (Line 3). 

  therefore i never get the message that my URL has loaded

  seeing as i need this message so i can hide the loading bar and attach the image properly this is not good.

  Any ideas am i doing this wrong, how can i attach my event listener before the cached image load event fires!

  At the moment i have disabled bitmap/url caching on the BitmapFileMaterial by removing references but its not the ideal solution.

  any ideas would be great!!

  Cheers, alan
